Nutty Strawberry Smoothie

Drinking plain milk is not my thing. Yes I have bad habits and being a woman just past 35 , I know its time I started to drink milk regularly or my bones are going give me trouble . Now for me, drinking milk is like drinking medicine (LOL), my mother in law forces Milo down my throat every time I visit her, well not really force me but she makes this huge mug of Milo and I dutifully drink it down, while my hubby and sis in law give me that knowing smile, both of them know I am not a big fan of the brew.

Anyway even though I am not a milk drinker I love yogurt so I decided to make smoothies more often. For flavor, I threw in some frozen strawberries, which were much cheaper than a fresh punnet of strawberries, an overripe banana , some blanched and sliced almonds , yogurt and milk and whizzed it up. I don't like it too thick , so I leave it to your liking to balance the thickness to your liking.

I'm not a milk drinker either, but believe me, you will find more calcium in yogurts or cheese than in milk. Milk is important only if you don't take calcium from other aliments.Anyway, your smoothie looks delicious :)
